ALthoguh wladimir completely won the comedy insult battle with his silent video after the fight.. :S


I see your point, particularly when you consider the other fights ended in knockouts (well... except Ali-Frazier and MAB-Naseem). But when you look at the extent of the Haye pre-fight talk versus his performance that night..... the gap between the two is immense.
